Answer this question truthfully
### Question: What to expect if I have Peripheral neuropathy  (Outlook/Prognosis)?
### Response: How well you do depends on the cause of nerve damage. Some nerve-related problems do not interfere with daily life. Others get worse quickly and may lead to long-term, severe symptoms and problems. When a medical condition can be found and treated, your outlook may be excellent. But sometimes, nerve damage can be permanent, even if the cause is treated. Long-term (chronic) pain can be a major problem for some patients. Numbness in the feet can lead to skin sores that do not heal. Rarely, numbness in the feet may lead to amputation. There is no cure for most neuropathies passed down in families.
